What doesn't make sense is that corporations are allowed to give as much money as they like.  You can't infringe on a corporation's free speech because it's not a person.  Is it made up of people?  Sure.  But their duty is to the corporation, and if they don't fulfill that duty, then they say Bye Bye.
